The committee tasked with making sure Kalgoorlie-Boulder’s “biggest week in tourism” delivers is seeking ideas from the community.

The number of people attending Race Round has been falling in recent years, which City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Mayor John Bowler believes reflects a nationwide trend of people choosing to spend less on entertainment.

But the importance of the event to the city meant the Discover the Round committee would strive to introduce new ideas and revamp old ones for this year’s Round.

Mr Bowler encouraged residents with ideas to get in touch with him and the committee.

Committee member Danielle Robertson said a specific aim this year would be to attract people to stay in the city for more than just one day.

“We are trying to make it Australia’s biggest party which goes beyond a week,” she said.

“So that even if you’re not into the horses or the racing there is something for everybody, and you don’t necessarily have to be there for race day, you could come for three days and there will be all sorts of different activities on.”

Mr Bowler said past ideas that might be revived included poker, rodeo and a day out in the bush at either Ora Banda or Broad Arrow.

“Nothing is definitive yet ... but I’ve got some good people back to spread the workload,” he said.
